Join Amy Quinn Suplina and Lindsay Ashmun for a DEEEluxe, yoga escapade in St. Kitts Island, West Indies this winter. Our home for five nights of island time is the stunning Belle Mont Farm— an ecological resort built on the side of a volcano by the rainforest that looks over the ocean. Belle Mont Farm is redefining sustainability and social justice in the Caribbean tourism industry and we are excited to explore it with you!

Yoga + Movement

Amy and Lindsay will lead you through two 90 minute Vinyasa yoga classes daily (with some strength training and Groundcontrol Pilates thrown in for good measure). We’ll be sure to weave is some gentle and restorative practice to keep you fresh. You’ll have an opportunity to join a guided hike through the rain forest, up Mt Liamuiga Volcano and venture for a swim in the ocean (a 10 minute shuttle to the small, volcanic sand beach below the resort or a 20 to 30 min drive to a larger beach). Or spend your days between classes chilling at the resort main pool and checking out the lush surroundings and ocean at the bottom of Kittitian Hill. Looking for more? There’s also tennis courts and a chemical free golf course where you can pick mangos on the ninth hole!

If you want to extend your stay to 7 nights and catch a direct flight back on Saturday, Lindsay is offering a 4 hour Extreme Performance Training (XPT) workshop for those who remain on Friday, May 8 at the resort. The workshop will consist of breath work, pool workout, yoga/groundcontrol pilates session and ice recovery exposures. See “optional extra days” pricing below.

Culinary Delights

Enjoy three meals+ per day sampling the expansive organic, edible landscape that surrounds the resort. The kitchen prides itself on sharing a West Indies culinary experience fresh from their farm and ocean. We’ll enjoy a true farm-to-table meal sitting in the middle of the fields one evening as the chef picks and prepares our meal at sunset. Another night we’ll eat where the Caribbean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean. Option to venture to a local Kittitian hang out as well. Forage fresh fruit and veggies from the farm and learn about Belle Mont’s sustainability model. All drinks including house cocktails and wine are included.

Note, the option is available to opt-out of the all inclusive meal and drinks we’ve set up. However, Belle Mont Farm is in a remote area so most meals will be taken a la carte in the restaurant which is expensive. Reach out to us for help with your decision.

Your Pad

Wake up in your private or shared luxe green cottage overlooking your personal plunge pool with the ocean in the distance. Cottage design is inspired by the natural landscape and Kittian architecture and features spectacular views of the sea and forest. Four-poster beds and private verandas for every yogi on our trip! Did we mention EVERY cottage has an infinity plunge pool? Yep! Enjoy some time in your open-air bathroom surrounded by foliage and soak in your claw foot tub on the veranda. And if you get tired of gorgeous sunsets over the ocean, head back inside, pull down your screen and catch a movie.

Sustainable Model

Besides the utter beauty of this place, we chose Belle Mont Farm at Kitttian Hill for our retreat because of their holistic commitment to sustainability. Check it out to learn more:
